WGBH Boston and its NOVA production group will produce a series of eight one hour television programs titled "Life: Cracking the Code". The series will cover recent advances in molecular biology, the record of personal quest and achievement of many of the biologists who have contributed to these advances, the social costs and benefits that have resulted and the ethical questions that new knowledge and new abilities in biology have generated. Individual programs will include "The Language of Life" on the discovery of DNA's role in molecular biology, "Molecular Machines" on proteins; "Designing the World to Order" on practical consequences of the new biology, "When Cells Rebel" on the processes involved in cancer, and "Between Self and Other" on the immune function. The series will be produced for prime time PBS evening broadcast to an audience of more than twelve million individuals by a co- production by the NOVA science unit at WGBH and the Chedd-Angier Production Company. Scientific advice and consulting will be provided by Harvard's Whitehead Institute for Biomedical Research and a project advisory committee composed of seven distinguished scholars chaired by Prof. David Baltimore. The series production budget will be approximately $ 4.2 million. This new science series on DNA, molecular biology and its new technologies will cover one of the great intellectual achievements of our time. It will provide timely information about an area of scientific discovery that is rapidly transforming many aspects of our life. The series will, in addition, document the rich recent history of molecular biology with the participation of many of the original researchers who are still alive and active in their fields.

WGBH Boston 及其 NOVA 制作团队将制作一系列八个一小时的电视节目，名为“生活：破解密码”。 该系列将涵盖分子生物学的最新进展、对这些进步做出贡献的许多生物学家的个人追求和成就的记录、由此产生的社会成本和收益，以及生物学新知识和新能力所带来的伦理问题。生成的。 个别项目将包括关于发现 DNA 在分子生物学中的作用的“生命语言”、关于蛋白质的“分子机器”； 《按顺序设计世界》讲述了新生物学的实际后果，《当细胞叛逆》讲述了癌症的过程，《自我与他人之间》讲述了免疫功能。 该剧集将由 WGBH 的 NOVA 科学部门和 Chedd-Angier Production Company 联合制作，在 PBS 晚间黄金时段向超过 1200 万观众播出。 哈佛大学怀特黑德生物医学研究所和由七位杰出学者组成的项目咨询委员会将提供科学建议和咨询，该委员会由戴维·巴尔的摩教授担任主席。 该剧的制作预算约为420万美元。 这个关于 DNA、分子生物学及其新技术的新科学系列将涵盖我们这个时代最伟大的智力成就之一。 它将提供有关正在迅速改变我们生活的许多方面的科学发现领域的及时信息。 此外，该系列还将记录分子生物学丰富的近代历史，其中包括许多仍然活着并活跃在各自领域的原始研究人员的参与。
